Priorities. "Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at things in #life that don't really matter." -Francis Chan

OK Go. Let it go This too shall pass When the morning comes.

I'm a brunette. I have weird eyes. I care too much about what they think. I'm usually not happy with myself. The future scares me. I never want to settle. But I have a savior. My #life is not my own. I'm going to do things. Great things for people. I'm going to travel and learn and teach and love. I'm not going to be disappointed. Because #life through my eyes is beautiful. And why not?

I Have Peace. So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to #life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture. None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. -Romans 8:31-39 (The Message Bible)

Professed Christianity. "Have you ever wondered if we're missing it? It's crazy if you think about it. The God of the universe- The creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor- loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is out typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether you've verbalized it or not, we all know something's wrong." ~Francis Chan
